With MODO 10, they are trying a new release model. Instead of a single major release followed by several service packs, they break the main features for that major version into several minor versions.The rationale is that service packs shouldn't add features to a version, they're meant for bug fixes and enhancements. Hence if a given feature is almost but not completely ready at the shipping date, it has to wait a full year.

It's experimental and there's no guarantee it'll be same same for MODO 11 next year. But I like it.Of course, you still pay only for one upgrade to the major version, not for each minor one.
